Characterizations

PDL at Freeze 5.11
Passage Frozen 6
 
beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase (hexosaminidase A) According to the submitter, biochemical test results for this subject showed decreased enzyme activity. EC Number: 3.2.1.52
 
IDENTIFICATION OF SPECIES OF ORIGIN Species of Origin Confirmed by LINE assay
 
Gene HEXA
Chromosomal Location 15q23-q24
Allelic Variant 1 606869.0001; TAY-SACHS DISEASE
Identified Mutation c.1274_1277dupTATC; Myerowitz and Costigan [J Biol Chem 263: 18587 (1988)] demonstrated that the most frequent DNA lesion in Tay-Sachs disease of Ashkenazi Jews is a 4-bp insertion in exon 11. This mutation introduces a premature termination signal in exon 11, resulting in a deficiency of mRNA. This is the most frequent defect underlying Tay-Sachs disease in the Ashkenazi Jewish population. This mutation is alternatively designated 1277TATC; see 272800.0054.
